Stay • DeVanté Swing

Chapter 7 | Changes

DeVanté had grown to be very attached to me. He gave me no freedom. Not only was DeVanté clingy, but he would get jealous over the smallest things. I didn't really acknowledge it much at first, but he started being a little too possessive...

Morgan

"I'm fixing to go to the mall, I'll be back later."

"I'm goin." He said.

"I'm going with the girls, so..." I laughed.

"What girls?"

"Why are you questioning me?" I asked while getting ready to go.

"Cause you belong to me, so I should know where you go and who you go with." He said with his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Weeellll, if you must know, I'm going with Tee."

"And who else?" He asked.

I turned around and looked at him. "What makes you think I'm going with someone else?"

"Well, are you?"

"...Just Chili and Lisa." I started walking down the stairs. He followed me.

"Why didn't you say that at first? You basically lied to me, Morgan." He gave me a weird smile.

What is his problem? 🙄

I sighed. "DeVanté." I said. "I'm just going to the mall with my cousin and her friends. Would you like for me to tell you whether or not we stop at the gas station as well?" I asked sarcastically.

He glared then gave a weird smile, which scared me. "Okay, go have your fun." He said before kissing my forehead. "Love you." Then he lied back down on the bed.

"L-Love you, too?" I said more as a question than a statement.

I went outside, where the girls were waiting on me, and got in the backseat with Lisa. "Damn, what took so long?" Tionne asked while backing out of the driveway.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "DeVanté was asking a lot of questions."

"Whaaaat...?" Chili looked back at me.

"I don't know what his problem is." I shook my head.

"Oh, lort." Lisa said.

"What?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Girl, that's the first sign of abuse." She said in a playful way.

I looked at her crazy. "DeVanté? Abusive? I think not." I chuckled.

"Nah, I'm just playin. You never know, he could be the lowkey crazy type." She shrugged.

"Nah, not DeVanté..." I said to myself.

After the Mall

"Drop me off at the house, Tee."

"Aight."

•••

"I'll see y'all." I said while getting out of the car.

"Bye." They said in unison.

I unlocked the door and went me straight upstairs to my room. I opened my bags and tried on the clothes and shoes I bought. After that, I went back downstairs and started watching movies.

Two Hours Later

As I was in the middle of singing along to The Five Heartbeats, I heard my pager go off.

I looked at it and sighed. "DeVanté..." I said to myself.

I called him and he picked up on the first ring. "Where you at?" He asked a little demanding, taking me a by surprise.

"Um...Home?..."

"You said you was comin back!" He yelled. He sounded mad.

"DeVanté, why are you yelling!?" I asked with the same tone he gave me.

"I'm-" He sighed. "I'm sorry. Jus- Don't tell me you'll be back and not come back. I was scared to death something could've happened to you."

Hearing him say that made me smile a little. "I'm sorry." I said. "Want me to come over?"

"Duh." He said playfully.

"Okay, I'll be there in about ten minutes.

We hung up.

At DeVanté's House

"Hey, gorgeous." He smiled when he opened the door.

"Hey, handsome." I giggled.

I walked in, he closed and locked the door behind me. "I'm sorry about earlier, I was trippin." He said as we sat down on the couch.

I cuddled up against him. "It's okay, I guess."

"You guess?" He asked while playing in my hair.

"Mhm."

It was silent for a moment. "Can I make it up to you?..."

I paused and sat up. I looked at him weirdly. "What do you mean? If you mean what I think you mean then..."

He chuckled and shook his head. "I knew you wouldn't be down for it." He looked down. "It's cool."

While we were in the middle of watching TV, he randomly got up and went upstairs.

DeVanté

I went upstairs to my room and went into my bathroom. I looked in the mirror and sighed, before opening the cabinet to take my medicine. After I took it, I went back downstairs to see Morgan sleeping on the couch. I picked her up bridal style and took her upstairs to my room.

DeVanté was acting a little weird, wasn't he? 🤔

I know you've been waiting for an update and I apologize that I took so long. I really hope you liked the chapter.
